Alexander Stephens Clay (September 25, 1853 – November 13, 1910) was a United States Senator from Georgia. He was born in Powder Springs, Georgia, and graduated from Hiwassee College in Tennessee in 1875. He was elected to the U.S. Senate and reelected twice (in 1902 and 1908). Clay died in Atlanta while in office in 1910 and was buried in the City Cemetery in Marietta.

Capital and largest city in Georgia, Atlanta is known the world over for its parks, professional sports teams, shopping, museums, and entertainment. One of the fastest growing cities in the United States, Atlanta has been commended by the Environmental Protection Agency for its determination to implement ecologically friendly policies. Unlike many other Southern cities, Atlanta broke with its historic Old South architectural characteristics and opted for a progressive modern style led by native Atlantan John Portman, who created the atrium hotel in 1967 when he designed the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.
